I'm using VS 2005 for forms programming in C++.
If I create an array of a class, I can not get suggestions after typing a -> (or incorrectly a .)
The VS built-in intellisense works (sometimes).
e.g:
array<arrayType^>^ m_array;
m_array = gcnew array<arrayType^>(size);
//allocate...
m_array[x]-> //no suggestions box

firstly apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this AndyM, there have been various computer problems at my end.
jorgito11 thank you for this clear example, now i am seeing exactly the same problem.

For me, CONTROL-SPACE or Auto Intellisense does not work in the code below:
public ref class FelineTest
{
public:
int m_nSize;
int m_nColour;
FelineTest(int size, int colour)
: m_nSize(size), m_nColour(colour) {}
};
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
array<FelineTest^> ^m_array = gcnew array<FelineTest^>
{
gcnew FelineTest(0, 1),
gcnew FelineTest(1, 2),
gcnew FelineTest(3, 4),
gcnew FelineTest(5, 6),
gcnew FelineTest(7, 8)
};
for (int i = 0; i < m_array->Length; ++i)
{
Console::WriteLine(L"Size={0}, Colour={1}",
m_array[i]->m_nSize, m_array[i]->m_nColour);
}
return 0;
}

Yes CTRL-SPACE always works at this point - just no automatic popup window. |

lets tackle this one problem at a time, if I may.
i have just double checked, i created a new managed C++ console project in VS2005, with VA 1445
for me, using the code from further up this thread, CTRL-SPACE produces the same list regardless of VA's default intellisense option. we should be getting the same results here.
my complete cpp (called managed_cpp_console.cpp) is:
// managed_cpp_console.cpp : main project file.
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System;
public ref class FelineTest
{
public:
int m_nSize;
int m_nColour;
};
/*
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");
return 0;
}
*/
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");
array<FelineTest^>^ m_array = gcnew array<FelineTest^>(5);
for(int a=0; a<5; a++) m_array[a] = gcnew FelineTest;
m_array[0]->
//m_array[0]-> //no suggestions box
return 0;
}
in case it matters i have single blank line at the bottom of the file. the IDE's parsing is enabled, i presume the same must be true on your system. can you try this code yourself and see what happens?
if VA is not properly understanding the code at your end, as this suggests, then we have very little hope of fixing the rest. |

Ok if I use "Get Content From Default Intellisense" (off by default isn't it?) then it gives me suggestions when I type ->.
But Visual Assist works much more consistently, in general, with this option off...
No conversion from . to -> (no problem but typing is faster when this is done ;) ). |

.NET and VS2005 are fun aren't they!

yes I tried it, didn't work for me, so... interesting. thanks for the feedback.
Ctrl-space often works, but it's not ideal to use that - ideally it's redundant with Visual Assist.

With VAssistX enabled, the following example will force intellisense to work:
array<System::Int32> ^n = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
Console::WriteLine(n->array<int>::Length);
Console::WriteLine(n[0].Int32::MaxValue);
However, "array<int>" and "Int32" will not automatically appear. This example will compile and run. |

It's not easy, such a class was derived from System::Windows::Forms::Form in my case, but try doing a new CLR console App and add code like so:
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System;
public ref class FelineTest
{
public:
int m_nSize;
int m_nColour;
};
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");
array<FelineTest^>^ m_array = gcnew array<FelineTest^>(5);
for(int a=0; a<5; a++) m_array[a] = gcnew FelineTest;
//m_array[0]-> //no suggestions box
return 0;
}

using VS2005 i have a managed C++ console project. into the main cpp file i have placed the code:
using namespace System;
class FelineTest
{
public:
int m_nSize;
int m_nColour;
};
int _tmain()
{
array<FelineTest^>^ m_array;
return 0;
}
which fails to compile, starting with the error: "'array' : undeclared identifier"
array is not in the System::Collections namespace, which fits with the statement i found online that it is a built in type. since the code will not compile i do not have a lot of faith in my testing of VA.
can someone point me in the right direction here? i do not use C++/CLI myself, i do most of my work in unmanaged C++ |

I have had this problem but it only appears inconsistantly. It appears that both VS and WT intellisense is having problems representing both the array's members along with the array element's members. I find I have more problems with user defined classes and value types. |
